- Review from the 2024 Birthing SurveyAllie provided us such excellent education before the birth in four sessions focused on labor, delivery, postpartum recovery, and infant feeding. We had been uncertain about hiring a doula, but the education we received from her alone made us feel like we had made the right decision to enlist a doula's support. During my home birth, Allie was so versatile in making sure that I was supported, but also in relieving my other support people (my husband and my mother) and making sure they were cared for. She provided some very gentle guidance that helped my labor to progress when I was ready. When I had to unexpectedly transfer to the hospital because of a retained placenta after the birth, Allie jumped into action mode -- retrieving medications for the midwife, dressing the newborn baby for our ride to the hospital, and making sure my mom got to the hospital so she could be there for me. In our postpartum visit, Allie gave us so many tools to help us with baby wearing, pumping, swaddling, and beyond, and she even brought us some nourishing food to help us out in those early postpartum days. That visit was such a lift during the very hard first week of our daughter's life, and left us feeling more empowered to embrace the challenges to come. Very highly recommend Allie!
- ISO birth doulaWe used Alexandra Blanchard for both births, she was great! Really helped keep me calm through all the medical language. She'll support you in whatever pain management route you choose, including epidural. https://moonchilddoula.com/

- Alexandra Blanchard, CD, CBC - Moon Child DoulaAllie was our birth and postpartum doula and I highly recommend her! I felt that we had a close long term relationship with Allie through prenatal virtual sessions, in-person birth support, and postpartum visits. She is extremely knowledgable and professional, as evidenced by her informative prenatal sessions. She has a calming presence and flexible approach. For birth support, Allie did everything I would have wanted and more despite the fact that she couldn't be in the OR with us due to an emergency C-section. The postpartum visits were perhaps my favorite. As new parents, the amount of newborn advice was overwhelming at times. Allie helped us connect the dots through our various support providers and offered so many helpful tips that were catered to our child's needs. I can't recommend her enough - she went above and beyond our expectations!
- Postpartum Doula Recommendation?Allie Blanchard of Moon Child Doula was truly wonderful!
- Review from the 2020 Birthing Experience SurveyAllie was the post-partum doula and I DID really need her. She couldn't come in person which was a super bummer. But her virtual meetings with me were like therapy and I really really appreciated them. She talked me through the emotional parts of being a new mom, plus breast feeding, baby care. When to up the size of your diapers, stuff like that that seems totally overwhelming when you're doing it for the first time.
